root. Like a dolt, I changed the password before
setting up an account
I've done the same thing on my Linux boxen ;)
system install tape. Is there any way to get in
without a password and
edit the /etc/.passwd file?
Yes. Boot into single-user mode and edit /etc/passwd
and remove all the
encrypted text between the colons so you end up with a line like:
root::0:0:roto-rooter:/root:/bin/csh
or whatever shell you use.
